Jason Caro is a native Texan and graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a degree in geography. Concerns over the issue of the politics of famine led Jason to the African Area Studies program at UCLA where he completed his Masters degree. Jason continued his studies at the University of Chicago completing his Masters thesis there on the correlation between guerrilla struggle in Africa and democratization. Afterwards, Jason returned to UCLA to complete his doctorate in political science which was an analysis of the origins of free peoples. Along the way, Jason has worked as an educator in community colleges and universities and developed standardized tests for school districts around the country. Jason’s research interests have centered upon the intellectual history of freedom, postmodern political philosophy, the potential of futures studies, and most recently the effects of civility.
